Tombstone businessman held on theft, fraud counts

The owner of a Pittsburgh-area tombstone business has been jailed on theft and fraud charges because the district attorney says the man didn't deliver at least 51 monuments for which customers paid him $92,000.

Instead, Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. contends 52-year-old Curtis Eakman spent the money at restaurants and nightclubs, or on jewelry, and filed to deliver the custom-made headstones.
